If industrial ammonia leaks, what emergency measures should be taken?

In modern industrial production, ammonia water, as an important chemical raw material, is widely used in refrigeration, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, textiles and other fields. However, due to its corrosiveness and toxicity, once ammonia water leaks, it will not only pose a threat to the health of operators, but also may cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, formulating and implementing effective emergency measures to deal with possible ammonia water leaks is an important part of ensuring personnel safety and environmental health. This article will introduce in detail what emergency measures should be taken if industrial ammonia water leaks?

Emergency measures for industrial ammonia leakage

1. Technical control: install ammonia leak alarm system, combustible gas and toxic gas probes, alarm linkage on-site exhaust system, etc. Regularly evaluate the risks and hidden dangers of ammonia storage tanks, and strengthen patrol inspections and daily monitoring.

2. Process control: use a self-priming pump with small flow and low lift during the filling process to reduce the flow rate. The mixed gas in the tank is connected to the exhaust main pipe through the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust fan is turned on to reduce the explosive mixed concentration inside the ammonia tank.

3.Special plan improvement and personnel training: establish an emergency plan system for emergencies, improve the emergency plan and on-site disposal plan for ammonia leaks. Organize employees to carry out emergency disposal plan drills for ammonia leaks to improve their emergency response awareness and ability to deal with emergencies.

Emergency response to industrial ammonia leakage

1. Emergency plan activation: Once a leak occurs, the person who discovers the accident should report it immediately and get emergency rescue as soon as possible. According to the degree of damage caused by the leak, report it urgently and request support.

2. On-site emergency rescue: Implement traffic control and evacuate people who are not related to rescue. Real-time monitoring of the concentration of toxic substances in the air, control the source of leakage, and implement plugging, recycling, neutralization or dilution treatment measures.

3. On-site warning and evacuation: Alert the leakage site, evacuate surrounding personnel, and prevent the accident from expanding. Strengthen the prediction of the spread of ammonia leakage, and promptly warn and evacuate the surrounding people.

  

Emergency disposal

1. Analysis of leakage points: Leakage generally occurs at inlet and outlet valves, sewage outlets, liquid level gauge interfaces and other locations.

2. Emergency disposal: Immediately cut off the valve for transporting ammonia water, isolate the source of leakage, and use on-site fire-fighting facilities for dilution. Collect the leakage source in the accident pool to prevent external discharge into the sewage system.

3. Environmental protection control: In addition to dilution with water, use emergency sand to absorb the leaked ammonia water on site. All sewage generated during the rescue process is recycled, the external discharge is closed, and the atmosphere is monitored.

In summary, in the face of the potential serious safety risk of industrial ammonia water leakage, enterprises must take comprehensive preventive measures and ensure that employees have a full understanding and preparation of emergency procedures through regular training and drills. Once liquid ammonia leaks, rapid and effective emergency response is the key to controlling accidents and reducing losses. Through timely on-site disposal, personnel evacuation, environmental protection and subsequent treatment, the impact of ammonia water leakage on personnel health and the environment can be minimized.
